What triplane did I see earlier in the Daedalus circuit?
White or cream colours.

Sounds like a replica Sopwith Triplane.

Could well be that. Sounded like it took off and made just the one circuit. May have landed again or departed south as I didn't hear it again.
Came outside when I heard the engine thinking it was the Harvard which i believe lives at Daedalus.

Perhaps Daedalus is home base for the weekend.

They made him retire from flying in the end- he was 90!
